My brother hasn't played Minecraft in a while, and there's a lot of cool new stuff since he last played.

However he lamented that things have changed so much and he feels like he has to start learning everything all over again, so I've taken the last modpack I remember playing with him (Direwolf20's 1.5.2 modpack) and attempted to build a modern 1.10.2 pack

The config files are heavily inspired by the customizations the FTB team did for the original pack.

Mods Replaced

Wireless redstone -> RFTools
Translocators -> EnderIO
Thermal Expansion -> EnderIO
Mystcraft -> RFTools Dimensions
ComputerCraft -> OpenComputers
Bibliocraft -> Bagelsmore: The Return
NEI -> JEI
Modular Power Suits -> Cyberware
Thaumcraft -> Blood Magic

I have yet to find a suitable replacement for Twilight Forest. This will be replaced once I find an exploration dimension mod.
